Day 33
Maybe you're wondering how you can make sure you will be able to live in such a wonderful place as heaven, once your time on earth is over. Perhaps you've been told that only those who are very good get to go to heaven. You may feel that excludes you, since you know you've made mistakes and have at times done things that were wrong, unloving, and hurtful.
Well, I have good news for you! Anybody can get free entrance to heaven. Anybody can be taken into the arms of love and receive the joy, fulfillment, and everlasting love that God wants to give each of us, both here and in the life to come—and that includes you.
Jesus paid our way by dying for our sins, and so, through simply receiving Him as our Savior, we can be sure of a place in heaven. That relieves us of the burden of having to be good enough to go to heaven, which we couldn't do anyway, because we're only human, after all. Jesus took our burden for us, and therefore all we have to do is believe and receive the gift of salvation that God wants to give us.
